I've been at the same level now for about 2 years, don't have a whole lot of time to play, play maybe twice a week, I just want to know why it feels to me like it is impossible for me to get any better. I keep making the same mistakes over and over again even though i know not to.

How does anyone get over this problem, I know we have all been there before, I have and I got through it at a lower level and proceeded to get better, but for some reason at this point I can't seem to get better.

Also, My skill level is about a 6-7. I can break and run, etc. I just need a little help.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It's possible you have problems with your fundamentals. It's possible you have trouble with something else. No one here can really diagnose your problem without more information.

But here is a suggestion: Note which shots you often have trouble with. Take time to practice them. If you have no time to practice them, do not expect to get better any time soon.

And that is a really, really obnoxious account name you have chosen. The father of a friend of mine was maimed by one of the Unabomber's little jokes. Please get a different account name.

Do you think your account name is funny? I think it's disgusting and you should change it or be banned.
I'm not as nice as Bob.
 
You people are way too sensitive, it's named after the poker player phil laak, not the actual unibomber. thanks for the info anyway i guess.
 
Earl Stickland told a guy one day "I play great because I have a great set of hands!

The key to playing the Game much better in a reaonable amount of time is "all in the hands," once you learn how to move the cue more effectively your Game will shoot up.

It's like this in Golf and Tennis too, I started teaching tennis when I was 12 and my first Tennis Teacher taught me how to strengthen my hands and use the grip for leverage and power.

I incorporated into pool and although everyone hold the cue differently, the movement of the wrist/hand/fingers is where the difference is from a intermediate player to the champion level player. Earl Stickland told a guy one day "I play great because I have a great set of hands!" He knows, now you know.

Play Well.

I still don't like it and I have never heard of that poker player.
You only have a few posts. Just come back under another name.

Thank you for your reply CJ. I have realized before now that alot of time when holding the cue, I'm only really gripping it with two fingers with my other three just wrapped around it, I learned this when I first started as a way to loosen your stroke and not be too tight. Would this be incorrect? Should I grip the cue with all my fingers and just hold it loose or what?
